By Cheryl Thomas · Monday, Nov. 12,2007 10:10 p.m.

The walls of most professors’ offices tend to be graced with artistic paintings or portraits of respected figures in their fields. The walls of IU chemistry professor Richard DiMarchi’s office, though, are lined with images of molecules. To IU’s department chair of biochemical sciences and former Eli Lilly and Company vice president, this is art.

By David Weisburd · Monday, Nov. 12,2007 10:07 p.m.

By the time I was 19, I had learned from some of the greatest business minds of our generation – excellent managers, networkers and leaders. I had spent many hours learning from their triumphs, failures and insights, and I had done it for several hundred dollars.

Professor Raymond Burke demonstrates a product comparison program Saturday afternoon at the Kelly School of Business. It was developed to test which product a shopper would select at a convience store. Burke coined the term “shoppability” to describe this process.

Decoding shoppability

The Customer Interface Laboratory in IU’s Kelley School of Business is a rectangular room tucked away in the corner of the third floor. At first glance, the room seems nondescript, lined with computers and cluttered with students’ posters and filing cabinets.On closer examination, however, technological innovations such as virtual reality screens, liquid crystal display panels and a peripheral vision dome stand out.

A measured success

By Rebecca Glasgow · Monday, Nov. 12,2007 9:13 p.m.

Hearing the name William Shakespeare might be enough to scare off anyone from seeing a play after taking literature courses. Fear not. The IU Department of Theatre and Drama’s production of “Measure for Measure” jumps far from the classroom and into a very entertaining night of theater.

Letters from Abroad

By Lindsey Landis · Monday, Nov. 12,2007 9:06 p.m.

BOLOGNA, Italy –You never realize how American you are until you leave the country. The National Anthem has never stirred deep feelings of patriotism and pride in me. I could live without baseball games and Mom’s hot apple pie. I waited all of my life to get out of the U.S. I wanted to see exotic places, eat new foods and experience the art and history of faraway lands, because I felt that home was lacking a bit in the culture department.

To create hip-hop music live on stage without a DJ or a looped sample might be unorthodox, but Davey Chegwidden, band leader for the Rhythm Roots Allstars, does it every night of the “Hip-Hop Live!” tour. The 10-piece band, which will stop at 9 p.m. today at The Bluebird as part of the tour, provides a unique experience for concertgoers.

No satisfaction

Monday, Nov. 12,2007 7:49 p.m.

The 2007 National Survey of Student Engagement came out last week. Among other things, it mentioned helicopter parents – those parents who, rather than dropping their kids off at the dorm freshman year and high-tailing it back home, remain painstakingly active in their college students’ lives. Apparently, children of these types of parents are more “satisfied” with their college experience.

Communist Bloggifesto

By Anna Piontek · Monday, Nov. 12,2007 7:47 p.m.

Hot-headed junior members of the intelligentsia used to write manifestos. But ideological convictions – the all-consuming, radical and inflexible kind – have gone out of style among young people, to invoke that favorite New York Times cliche once more. Regardless of dubious theories about the political sloth of the youth, it is certain that ideology (even the word itself) is suspicious these days. Thus no one writes manifestos anymore.
